Rifugio Baita dei Cacciatori
2.9About
Rifugio Baita dei Cacciatori sits at 1,751m in the Dolomites near Cortina d'Ampezzo. Reach it via the Val Ra valley from Cortina (5.5km, 2 hours uphill) or from Passo Ra to the north (3km, 1.5 hours). The hut anchors several solid day hikes and serves as a base for exploring the meadows and limestone ridges above the valley. Summer trails here are well-marked but steep in sections.
The rifugio holds around 40 beds in basic but clean rooms. Hot showers work reliably. The kitchen serves simple mountain food—expect polenta, pasta, and hearty soups rather than refined cooking. Meals are included with overnight stays or available à la carte to day walkers. The hut opens June through September. Staff speak Italian and some English. The terrace faces south toward Val Ra and fills quickly on sunny weekends.
Book directly by phone or email for July and August—aim for 4 to 6 weeks ahead during peak season. Weekdays in June and September are quieter. Walk-ins work on quieter days but call first. The hut has no website but contact details appear in the alpine-huts directory. No credit cards; bring cash or arrange payment when you reserve.
